Last Friday a friend and I got together to put together some looks with her amazing short designs. In this image I am sporting a pair of flat platforms from ZOMP, a black milk clothing 'galaxy' bodysuit teamed with my friends shorts - Be Bitko Azul Marino shorts.

Be Bitko is an up and coming label online from Brisbane founded and designed by Brisbane based owner Emily Bitkow in June of 2011. At Be Bitko they mix their own uniqueness with global fashion trends, creating edgy pieces that are bold and dramatic, yet completely wearable for day or night and all in between. The designer Emily Bitkow came up with new and even more fashionable ways for women to carry their valuables while attending festivals, clubbing or travelling. Three distinct locations where women want to know that their valuables are secure, yet they have the freedom to enjoy themselves without fear or worry of losing their items.

With these designs you can be as imaginative and as creative as you like. Every day at Be Bitko is like a festival. Life is meant to be taken advantage of, and its here where they encourage the highest in style, taste, health and happiness

i am going to platform over you

Raiding the stores for some shoes to purchase I noticed that super high heels are just not in any more. In fact, some of the best known shoe designers, Christian Louboutin, Charlotte Olympia and Yves Saint Laurent are taking their shoes to greater heights - incorporating when they can the platform style. I can actually argue that walking in a four-inch platform can be just as challenging as walking in a six-inch heel - nearly having rolled my ankle today after purchasing my platform shoe trend, but the truth is, it's all a matter of getting accustomed. The most comfortable option for most women these days are those that combine high heels with a platform.

As much as some may disagree I think that the wedge/platform will be sticking around a while.

To add to my wardrobe trends I bought my first pair of flat platforms from ZOMP!
